Chunks and Hunks

As opposed to bits and pieces...

* The food truck didn't come. We were supposed to get a huge order of supplies today, but the truck never showed up. No bread for sandwiches tomorrow. No giant cans of vegetables. (The kids will be so sad if they don't get their veggies. Ha ha)!) I talked to my boss at the end of the day. It was so busy that we never thought about the truck until the day was practically over. We are not out of food and the children won't go hungry. They just won't be eating chicken salad sandwiches.

* Our brother. This is a frustrating story. The state is looking to move him out of his present home, the one he moved into over 20 years ago. The new home is 45 minutes to an hour away from where he lives now. It is about 15 minutes closer for us, but we feel it is a very bad placement for him. We have expressed our views, but fear he will be moved in spite of our concerns. They say it is in his best interest as he is at risk for falls. He has recently been diagnosed with "a drug induced form of Parkinsonism" (I wonder how that could have happened...) but has been walking fine as far as we can tell.  The new home's residents are non ambulatory and what my sister has referred to as vegetative. Tim walks and is interactive. Prayers on his behalf are greatly appreciated. (I hope Priscilla will forgive my posting a picture taken just a couple weeks ago. .)

* Tomorrow begins the roof replacement. It leaks and it has to be done. Thankfully, this is a rather small house. James has agreed to do the job, but being Labor Day weekend, he is short of help. We have just one local son available to help, and perhaps a son in law or two, although maybe not.. Rounding up the family hasn't been easy the past year and a holiday/long weekend isn't helping. I know God will take care of it, but we are feeling overwhelmed and in need of a miracle.Prayers are appreciated.
